Manchester United<\/a> striker Wayne Rooney<\/a> says he stood up and applauded what he’d witnessed on his TV after Barcelona<\/a>\u2019s 5-0 thrashing of Real Madrid<\/a> earlier this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rooney has described that performance as \u2018the best he has ever seen\u2019 ahead of the Champions League final tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was watching in my living room and I actually stood up and applauded what I was seeing,\u201d said Rooney in an article in The Mirror<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cColeen walked in and asked what I was doing!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut it was the best performance I\u2019ve ever seen. It was unbelievable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it was quite that bad when we lost 2-0 to Barcelona in the Champions League final two years ago in Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut if you looked at the faces of the Real players that night, they were shell-shocked and didn\u2019t know what to do with the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pressure Barca put them under made it so hard for Real to get the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you say nothing afterwards because, in games you have lost convincingly, you don\u2019t want to speak to anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Barca played, it was so difficult for Real\u2019s attacking players to get the ball or any possession.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
